Following Florida school shooting, Adam Putnam scrubs his 'Proud NRA sellout' claim from his ads and website

Just days after a teenager shot and killed 17 of his former classmates and teachers in Parkland, Florida, agriculture commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam seems to have removed all references of his favorite line referring to himself as a "proud NRA sellout."

Putnam, whose entire campaign is centered on Second Amendment rights, literally closed the door on a Politico reporter Tuesday who asked if he'd still be using that moniker to describe himself.

Politico now says Putnam's once front-and-center "NRA sellout" messaging has been scrubbed from his official website and digital ads.
